Behavioral Finance and Investment Strategy

Greg LaBlanc, Lecturer, Economic Analysis and Policy Group, Haas School of Business
The emerging field of Behavioral Finance has developed a wide range of insights that have disrupted how we think about financial markets. Drawing on insights from psychology, information economics, complex systems, and game theory; behavioral finance has put the Strategy back in Investment Strategy. Professor LaBlanc highlights how the insights of game theory, in particular, can inform our understanding of how market participants interact and how asset prices are determined.

I am from Sweden so I know a little bit about the switch from left to right side. Sweden used right side cars but drove on the left side. So if you wanted to pass someone that was really dangerous as you could not see the traffic from the other lane. Hence the switch was really just common sense. To decrease the number of traffic accidents. The switch wasn't done at midnight. It was done at noon. My parents tell me everyone was sitting in their cars for this epic switch and at the clock they all changed lanes with each other in a calm and organized manner.

Very good - lots of stories instead of tons of theory! Great Lecture!

[@andersoncavill4571]

This is really a great 101 video on behavioral finance. It definitely made me think deeply on how market participants act, think and behave. Great stuff and engaging professor makes this video not just entertaining but also insightful!

Takeaways: 1. Inexperienced investors tend to create bubbles. If the people experienced last bubble are still alive, a bubble is less likely to occur. However, new bubbles can be created, e.g., after the dot com bubble, we got a housing bubble, and after that, we got Bitcoin.

Hey nice lecture. Thanks for lot of insights into game theory application in investing. Even Soros lost a lot of money in 2000 even though he made some in 1999. Julian robertson just decided to put off the money because he just didnt understand the market then, which is perfectly fine according to me. If Robertson had hold on to his old economy stocks through 2002, he may have done nearly as well as Soros I guess. So, exactly timing the market cycles sometimes doesn't make much sense either. Yes you could have hold on to tech stocks until 1999 december and then sold everything, but then you gotta play like god. I would say what Robertson did in 1998 (shorting tech stocks) is in itself outstanding. (99% of managers didn't see it coming even by 2000)

About a year shy of a decade later, it would be fun to tell the gentleman who asked about an apple bubble that it is up 10x since then.

So Bitcoin bubble 9 years ago… Bitcoin Price in 2013: $13- $1,100 Starting at $13 in the beginning of the year, the price of Bitcoin rose to almost $250 in April before correcting downward over 50%. The price consolidated for about six months until another historic rally in November and December of that year, when the price peaked out at $1,100. 24x now

[@theWebWizrd]

Bubbles gotta bubble. It is in their nature to grow to ridiculous heights before they pop.

[@Commando303X]

2:35: There is no "Warren-Buffett rule" to suggest one should promptly sell off an investment upon its exceeding its (intrinsic) value.

[@theWebWizrd]

Yup, ignorant comments like that is what I disliked about this guy despite his entertaing behaviour. In fact, Warren Buffet and Charlie Munger would tell you that you should think extremely long about selling, because selling is very difficult - not only must the sale be right, but then you have to find another correcr buy afterwards. To be fair, though, he isn't entirely shooting the dark either. Conservative value investors would definitely sell very quickly in that game once it breached the fundamental value. I know I would.

[@Commando303X]

@@theWebWizrd, I agree with your remarks. (I rarely agree with people's remarks.)

Macroeconomics, Macroeconomists was proposal....

[@islandbee]

He actually mentioned Bitcoin, but didn't go into more detail about it. I want to know what he thinks about it. He went on giving more or less praise about The Fed. He sounds like a typical Keynesian economist to me.

[@mudyabbas]

Listen to this other lecture at the end of the clip he mention bitcoin and it advantage and give reason why it won’t replace cash. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3SUh2yDq9-LarM

why spend so long reinforcing the same point on game theory? While barely touching upon the actual topic of BEHAVIORAL FINANCE and INVESTING STRATEGY

Discover this the most exciting financial psychology by numerous hilarious examples to stimulate my focusing attention on the Prof's lecture. Too bad is Berkley video programming techniques not as thorough as the other Long Ivy Universities to shoot from VERY BEGINNING to the end. So the only thing pitty was NO SELF INTRODUCTION in the Video. Too bad. The Only minus point of this lecture video.

[@Commando303X]

The audio here barely is detectable.

God damn can this guy lecture
